Google map is not showing map in the accounts of salesforce.

Hi Guys,

     The code is done for the google map using visualforce page and assigned to the page layout. Not the all is showing any

     error. But even not showing the map in the following accounts. I don't know in which setting its not allowing me not to cross  

     the barrier to display it on accounts.

 

     Can anyone help me on this.

 

 

Regards

Just a suggesion,

 

For google maps to work, the billing address of the account should be populated with a valid address.

 

See whether that is the reason.

 

Thanks

Here is the code. May be some permission is not allowing, I don't know which one.

But the code is fine. I think so.

 

<apex:page standardController="Account">

<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=ABQIAAAAbfPnDaL24nk10UVODur46RQ4hZBRKujLa20gdgk6BGq02b_7dRSUc-gU9S7Sru9i0Z4lD1pGbwanwg" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

var map = null;
var geocoder = null;

var address = "{!Account.BillingStreet}, {!Account.BillingPostalCode} {!Account.BillingCity}, {!Account.BillingState}, {!Account.BillingCountry}";

function initialize() {
if(GBrowserIsCompatible())
{
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("MyMap"));
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl3D());

geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
geocoder.getLatLng(
address,
function(point) {
if (!point) {
document.getElementById("MyMap").innerHTML = address + " not found";
} else {
map.setCenter(point, 13);
var marker = new GMarker(point);
map.addOverlay(marker);
marker.bindInfoWindowHtml("Account Name : <b><i> {!Account.Name} </i></b>
Address : "+address);
}
}
);
}
}
</script>


<div id="MyMap" style="width:100%;height:300px"></div>
<script>
initialize() ;
</script>

</apex:page>

<script type="text/javascript">

function load() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());

var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();

//var address = "{!Account.BillingStreet}" + ", " + "{!Account.BillingCity}" + ", " + "{!Account.BillingState}"+"{!Account.BillingPostalCode}" + "," + "{!Account.BillingCountry}";
var address = "{!Account.BillingStreet}" + ", " + "{!Account.BillingCity}" + ", " + "{!Account.BillingState}"+"{!Account.BillingPostalCode}" + ", " + "{!Account.BillingCity}" + "," + "{!Account.BillingCountry}";

var point = geocoder.getLatLng(
address,
function(p) {
if (!p) {
alert(address + " not found");
} else {
map.setCenter(p, 13);
var marker = new GMarker(p);
map.addOverlay(marker);
//marker.openInfoWindowHtml(address);
marker.openInfoWindowHtml("<font>{!Account.Name}<br>{!Account.BillingStreet} <br>{!Account.BillingCity} {!Account.BillingState} {!Account.BillingPostalCode} <br>{!Account.BillingCountry}</font>");
}

Few months ago I had a same problem. After changing the link to the google script from http into secured https it helped. Could You please also try to add the site address into REMOTE SITE SETTINGS?

 

Have You tried to check this feature on different webbrowsers?
Pink TacoPink Taco
I had used the http by replacing with https. and also added the address in the remote site settings. I didn't worked in my case. Else in other browsers, its working perfectly fine without using this all.
empucempuc

So which browser is the only one which does not support it for you?
